OpenShip - Open source PaaS on your server or in the cloud. No lock in.

by

OpenShip is an open source PaaS that runs on our cloud or your infrastructure. Push your code and OpenShip handles builds, deployments, domains, SSL, monitoring, backups, secrets, and the services your apps depend on. Start fully managed on OpenShip Cloud or self host on your own cloud or on prem. Move between them without changing how you deploy. No proprietary runtime. No vendor lock in. Remove OpenShip and your apps keep running. Deploy anything. Own everything.

I love OpenShip! Using it for my whole self-hosted SaaS!

 what do you like about it?

I taught my agent how to manage it and it just does it (so cli is a must).  But more importantly, the memory footprint is very small. Which means it can live on the same server as my application. I ditched Vercel for it 2 weeks ago.

Hey Product Hunt 👋

We built because deploying still feels like a stack of tools: a PaaS for git deploys, a panel for servers, scripts for rollbacks, and a lock-in problem if you ever want to move.

OpenShip is an open source platform for deploying apps on infrastructure you own or on OpenShip Cloud if you don’t want to run servers.

Push from Git, the CLI, the desktop app, or an AI agent over MCP. It detects the stack, builds an immutable version on your machine, ships it over SSH, and brings the new version live with zero downtime. No agent installed on the server. One click rolls back to any previous version.

Same workflow everywhere:

•⁠ ⁠OpenShip Cloud when you want managed deploys

•⁠ ⁠Your own VPS, bare metal, or homelab when you want ownership

•⁠ ⁠Hybrid when you want both

•⁠ ⁠Move either direction later without rebuilding

Also included: preview URLs for PRs, custom domains + auto SSL, scaling across servers, live logs, and a topology view of what’s actually running.

Self host is free and Apache-2.0. Cloud starts at $5/mo.

If you’ve been stuck between “easy but locked in” and “owned but painful,” this is the version we wanted.

Try today:

 deploying via an ai agent over MCP.. that actually sounds wild congrats for ship

 Thank you, Priya, Glad you like it!

Canceled my supabase+vercel+modal subscriptions after migrating to OpenShip, it is much easier and cheaper to maintain now!

 Glad you enjoy it, do you have any feedback? features you want? Any tweaks in the experience?

Waiting for community Plugins & Themes to use it but I will always support this project!
